    Over The last 4 days my site has been posted on 3 seemingly popular French sites and I have been getting insane traffic. That's the good news.

    The bad news, my CTR is pathetic.

    Or even if they're in English, what are the ads about? What do they say?

    What is it you want them to click on that they're not clicking on there? I don't see any ads on that page...

    No, no, I am getting a lot of traffic from french websites, but my AS CTR is terrible hence the title The French Love me (they visit alot) but they don't click(my AS revenue sucks).

    Okay... looking more closely, I see the text links now:

    but they're in a very tiny font above a bunch of logos for Firefox, etc. I'm not sure this is a French issue as much as a design issue... the eyes naturally go to the colorful logos below and it's easy to miss the text links that i presume you want people to be clicking... (?)

    Sorry, One more time, after reading my original post I confused myself too.

    My site has been listed on 3 different French sites by other people. The sites are popular Cool Links type of sites, hence my website as a result has gotten a lot of traffic in the last few days, mostly French. This is all good.

    My AS CTR rate on my site has plummeted as a result of a lot of traffic and very few clicks.

    The link I posted is the latest I am getting traffic from.

    Sorry for being confusing.

    Still confused here, roman1. The URL you provided has no ads that I could see. Is that an example of one of your pages? or is it one of the referring pages? If the latter, tjhat doesn't help me determine whether there's something about YOUR page that might be confusing them.
